A Simple Way YOU Can Leave a Legacy
Let’s talk about death, shall we?
Uh oh, we’re about to get really morbid!
We know. We KNOW.
It’s not fun to think about dying. And, it’s even worse to think about the legal “stuff” you should do to protect your assets.
BUT, here’s the cool part…
Did you know there are thousands of people who have written Young Life into their wills and trusts?
They’ve chosen to donate a portion of their assets back to Young Life and that giving actually goes a long way to providing for the future of Young Life. These folks are part of “Club 37!” It is simply our group of friends who want the work of Young Life to continue even after they are “promoted.”
When you give to the Young Life Foundation, you are truly building a legacy that lives well beyond your own years.
Why “37?”
Among our founder’s many skills was his ability to understand his audience. When Young Life club became Jim Rayburn’s primary vehicle for gathering young people and sharing the Gospel, he understood that kids may not want to come to something that was brand new, untested with the “crowd.” So he decided to call that first club, “Club 37” so that kids might feel like this was something well established and worth their participation.
More than eight decades later, millions of “kids” have now grown to maturity and Young Life has grown into all 50 states and more than 100 countries. This growth, in part, has been fueled by the generosity of so many people whose lives have been changed by their experiences with Jesus through Young Life. And for thousands of those people, they have chosen to invest in the mission by including Young Life in their will/trust or other end of life plans.
